Customer Reviews

Fantastic!!!
I have been kayaking for almost 20 years but have always had trouble with numbness and leg pain after about 20 minutes of paddling. A few years ago I read about Yakpads in a side by side comparison with other seats and Yakpads was the winner by a mile. The seat is less than 1/2" thick so I was very surprised to hear how well it worked but I had to try the seat after the overwhelming results of the independent review. When I installed the seat I was a bit skeptical however the skepticism disappeared the first time I tried the seat. I was amazed at how it wiped out my pain and numbness issues. I have been using this seat for almost five years and it has held up great to a lot of hours of use.

I recently met one of the owners of the company at a Kayak Symposium and he described how the product works. He said that they designed the seat after having years of the same discomfort issues that I have had. He said that had three goals when they designed the seat. 1) it had to be thin so it did not lift the paddler's center of gravity, 2) it could not contain a liquid that would shift under the paddler and eventually leak, 3) it need to protect the nerves in the rump from getting irritated and causing the leg pain and numbness (sciatic nerve?) He said they put about 3 years of testing into the product before it went to market. They Gel that they use is not a liquid but it work like one. When you paddle you rotate on your rump bones and that is what causes the leg pains. These seats make you feel like you are floating in the seat yet I actually feel more connected to my boat when using the seat then without it.

I was surfing the web to buy another Yakpads seat and saw a really unfair review of the seat and I wanted to give my firsthand account of what a great product this is and how much it has help me to enjoy kayaking. I suggest trying it before you review it!!

Yakpad Kayak Seat
Seems excellent quality. I wish the mounting loops were a bit smaller. Other than that it looks great.

Just as advertised
Great pad, just as advertised. I use it on a motorcycle, not a kayak. Really helps with comfort on long trips!
